How can I integrate my bricklink store into a merchandise management system?
(Mac; iOS)
Which shop system does bricklink use?
I would like to be able to check my stocks more easily and to place a repeat
order if the quantity falls below the minimum.

Thanks for helpful tips!

I knocked my "added" pieces into my "to be added" pieces & I
don't want to count my whole inventory! Is there a way to see details of
my recent activity - like an activity log of pieces I've added to my store?
I figured out I can see the newest pieces I've added from my store page,
but that's only for pieces that are totally new to my store - what about
pieces that I already had & I only adjusted the quantity??

It could be convenient to have this on BrickLink but as of right now, you may
use BrickStoRE, free and open-source, save locally your shop contents
every time you wish, save what you upload or even update.

There's also subtraction tool that can help, etc.


Thanks for the tip!

  It's likely that the plastic mixture either didn't separate cleanly from
the mold during a previous color run, or there were residual particles of white
plastic pellets in the injection molding machine when it was made. This is normal,
and not something to worry about.

Cheers ...

Thank you. Should I mention this while putting the part in my store?

For future reference: The plural of LEGO is LEGO. I don't know where people
get the idea that it needs an 's', just putting that out there for reference.
The word 'LEGO' is always capitalized.

This is what TLG state on their official site. I would prefer it if everyone
posting on this site followed proper and official naming conventions when referring
to LEGO branded products.

If you want to follow the official line according to the company, the plural
of LEGO is not LEGO, as it has no plural. It is an adjective.

As for LEGO always being capitalised ... it wasn't always that way.

At first glance, I would guess it was a clone brand & not LEGO; the colors look
a little off, it's really shiny (which is typical of clone plastics),
and I do not believe that torso or leg parts were made by LEGO... as has been
asked, do you see the LEGO logo on the neck top or legs? It doesn't necessarily
mean they are LEGO-printed (as custom printing can be done on authentic LEGO
parts), but if there is no logo, that's a dead give-away that their clone
brands right there...

Thanks guys, I just wanted to be sure. There is no Lego branding on it at all.
It's a shame. It's a nice looking minifig. I found it in a 30lb box
of Legos I purchased online.

As to the minifig, if there is no LEGO trademark molded into the plastic, it's
very likely to be a clone brand. That would be an otherwise nice minifig, I suggest
you drop it off to a charity donation bin or your nearest recycling center, if
they can recycle plastic toys.

Cheers ...

I concur with the "LEGO" sentiment, and I try hard to inform others by
only using "LEGO" as intended... oh, & I have a *very* special bin
for all those clone brands (see image)

Thanks again for the help. As for as the LEGO Legos debate. I know that LEGO
plural is LEGO. I was just asking a question and wasn't thinking about grammar.
I'm sure I'm not the only person to make that mistake and I won't
be the last. As far as using the LEGO brand name correctly, I ALWAYS use the
correct form with the trademark symbol in all caps on all my listings outside
of Bricklink. I also put a disclaimer below on all my listings.

LEGO® is a trademark of the LEGO Group of companies which does not sponsor, authorize
or endorse this site.

Thanks again for the help.

Well, if you are going to be the LEGO grammar police, it is not a "minifig".
It is a "minifigure".
